[John Crichton]

I'll be running a classic space opera using Alternity:

The Death Planet (Alternity: Star*Drive)--- A simple run to a remote mining colony turns complicated when the crew of the tramp freighter, Ethel's Misery stumbles on to the planet's deadly secret. Spaceship battles, alien encounters, evil galactic corporations, and a chance to play the Alternity system! What more can you ask for?

Here's my blurb!

The Vietnam Job

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

The cast-
Hannibal - The Mastermind
Face - The Grifter
Murdock - The Hacker
B.A. Baracus - The Hitter
Tia* - The Thief

The Job-
A mysterious ex-intelligence officer presents the A-team with the job of a lifetime- a chance to take down corrupt military officials and clear their name at last.

* (She was the Vietnamese-American sidekick at the end of the fourth season, played by Tia Carrere. Since she was supposed to join the cast in the fifth season, let's pretend she did, and let's pretend she grew up as a streetwise orphan in Hanoi.)

I'm not sure yet what I'm running. It'll be Fiasco if no one else is; if not, I'm suffering from an overabundance of choice. Possibilities include an urban city run in 4e D&D, Mutants & Masterminds, or something different. I'm open for suggestions if there's something that people really want to play.

EDIT: I'm a fool, I tell you. A fool! I'll be running one slot of Fiasco, and one slot of Old School Hack.

These all sound great.



EDIT: If need be, I have a Dread game in the hopper that I'm running at both NC & DC Gamedays. I'll bring it along just in case.

The GM.

Err - someone who's GMing. If you're running a game, and really want to be in another game, I wanted to try and not schedule them both at once if possible.

I know. I was going to shoot for a "call me Master" joke, but the timing was way off, and it didn't sound as funny this morning.

Testing to see if the timestamp's more accurate here than on CM.

(much more accurate: 6:54 timestamp, 6:57 on the computer (according to Apple, anyway).
